About this index

  • A transparent screening indicator built from public USITC trade data, not sourcing advice. The tariff term uses an observed effective calculated-duty rate, not an entry-specific legal rate or cash-paid amount. Concentration is matched to the month's calendar year (latest completed year for newer months); import dependence is currently a latest-year snapshot applied across the series and will deepen into a true history as export years accumulate. The named-top-sources HHI is a floor. Validate any decision with your own landed-cost and capacity numbers.

Cadence and source

  • Monthly, refreshed automatically as USITC posts new customs data
  • Derived entirely from USITC DataWeb public-domain customs data; leaderboard and per-family pages at /reshoring. A screening indicator, not sourcing advice.
